Großbootshaus - Zentrum und Herrschaft - Zentralplatzforschung in der nordeuropäischen Archäologie (1.-15. Jahrhundert)

Boathouses, built for the protective storage of watercraft, have a centuries old tradition that is archaeologically proven. Used in great numbers in Scandinavia and the North Atlantic even today, boathouses of lengths up to 40 m were widely used between the 1^st and 15^th century, especially in Norway. They are great focal points in the discussion of naval history, as well as prime indicators of the centres of power along the coastline.
